I think a good question to ask, is if these schools would have paid for cliffnotes for all their kids. The answer is of course “no,” not only due to the presumed expense but also the fact cliffnotes are the easy way out of having to use your brain in English class. AI is no different. Kids are using it as an easy crutch to cram and avoid actually learning to study material, not as some research tool like it is pitched. It is like worse than wikipedia, and somehow everyone in education had such strong feelings about wikipedia but are rolling out the carpet for chatgpt school wide subscriptions.
